答：初地望前名無生忍，若望七地名為順忍。若將初地望地前即初地為並，若形於七地則初地未並。

Answer: When viewed from what precedes it, the first bhūmi is called the patient acceptance of the non-arising of dharmas; but when viewed from the seventh bhūmi, it is called the patient acceptance of compliance. If one compares the first bhūmi to the stages before the bhūmis, then the first bhūmi is simultaneous; but if one compares it to the seventh bhūmi, then the first bhūmi is not yet simultaneous.
